Cloud Nine vs Paper
Cloud Nine (Sherwin-Williams) and Paper (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Cloud Nine reads as white, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 10-point LRV gap — 88 for Paper vs 78 for Cloud Nine — means Paper will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 5.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
